Friday Coffee and Chat -- 5th June 2026

@Shaz51 tomorrow morning I’m participating in a community tree planting, for half a day.

Then I have an abundance of boring domestic cleaning and organising tasks.

@Dimity I have no motivation on cold days. Cold windy days even worse.

I really need a ski 🎿 onesie

@Shaz51

@TAB yep good eye is fine although I still struggle to read small print with reading glasses on. They said I would still need my reading glasses afterwards. Finding it difficult to put drops in eye keep missing ha ha. Operated eye hurts a bit.

a community tree planting, ----- sounds interesting @Glisten

do you know what kind of trees they are planting

Hello @GezzaP I could not get your name to type with @drop down menu on Tabalugas. So glad you are doing ok. I was particularly concerned for you. Its nice to hear you are adjusting after your operation. I hope its not causing you too much discomfort.

Just been reading about this 30% tax which covers disability trusts - yes I'm affected. Anyway you mentioned for me to look into it. Blah

@Shaz51 hey Shazzy, nice to see you. Thanks for warm cup of coffee on a Friday afternoon.

@Shaz51 Shazzy its native vegetation rehabilitation project. It’ll be the usual Jarrah, Marri, Tuart canopy trees with Flood Gum, WA Peppermint, Banksia, mid-story. Shrubs and ground covers Balga, Acacia, wisteria, kangaroo paw, Callistemon - Bottlebrush. I’m allergic to Bottlebrush, I get a rash whenever it touches me.

Yes @SmilingGecko I’m having technical difficulties on forums. Can’t reply on Tabaluga thread. I’m fine but will get tired later as wasn’t allowed to take my sleeping med last night and only slept 5 hours. Trying to catch up on emails from forums.
Yes I thought tour trust might be affected sorry if it is. My eye is good. Just having a few problems with putting drops in and can’t open tape to put night shield on.

@GezzaP I believe a lot of people struggle with eye drops. I used to have to do the "dropping" with ex friend and God kids because ex friend just couldn't do it. Lucky she has good sight, putting in contacts would be a nightmare!!

So glad your eyesight is better, hopefully you feel less stressed about the second op.
